My heart used to break : Priyanka Chopra
Basking in the success of Fashion, Priyanka Chopra talks to Prithwish Ganguly about how she felt when she was going through a flop run.
Priyanka Chopra has finally salvaged her dipping fortunes the box office. Piggy Chops was riding on bad luck all through this year with four back-to-back flops (Love Story 2050, God Tussi Great Ho, Chamku and Drona).
But Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion has finally stopped the dry run and put the limelight back on her.
In these good times, this model-turned-actor hasn’t forgotten how her heart broke every time she used to be told that one more film has nose-dived at the box office.
My heart used to break every time I heard that my film hasn’t done well at the box office. I used to get affected every time I used to hear that (her film turning out to be a box office dud). I am happy that Fashion has become such a huge hit but I haven’t got over those feelings yet. Fashion was my fifth release and I had a lot of responsibility as the solo lead,” she told After Hrs.
“Honestly, I had thought that Drona and God Tussi Great Ho would work well (at the box office). Some of my earlier films were released back-to-back and they
didn’t do well. Now that Fashion got a great opening and good reviews as well, it’s a sone pe suhaga situation for me,” she laughs.
The 26-year-old dusky former Miss World is also doing a special item number in Shah Rukh Khan’s Billoo Barber. We quizzed the actor on whether she would settle for a
de-glam image for a film post all the compliments that she has got for her looks in her earlier films like Drona.
“I don’t believe that if you take off your make-up, you become a better actor. You can look beautiful and glamourous and still act well. I dress up according to the character I have in a film. For example, in half of Fashion, I’m not wearing any make-up. I’ll take off my make-up if my role demands it but not to prove anything to anyone,” she says.
